Black Box Recovered from Hudson River
Plane Crash Lands in Hudson River
The black box recorders recovered from the downed jetliner have confirmed the crew’s and captain’s accounts of the hair-raising incident.
The recorders captured the sounds of what appear to be birds hitting the aircraft and the sudden loss of engine power. Hero pilot Chesley ‘Sully’ Sullenberger can be heard calmly reporting to New Jersey air traffic control, outlining options for crash landing the Airbus A320. Just ninety seconds before impact he is heard directing passengers to ‘brace for impact’ and telling controllers that they will be in the Hudson river.
After making the crash landing the pilot and his co-pilot wlaked the length of the aircraft, twice, in freezing waters in order to ensure that all 155 passengers had disembarked safely.
Investigators are continuing to study recorded radar data hoping to identify the flock of birds responsible for the crash.
Chesley Sullenberger and his experienced crew have been praised by the National Transportation Safety Board who said that “these people knew what they were supposed to do and they did it and as a result, nobody lost their life.”
Weather conditions and ice flows in the Hudson river are currently making it too dangerous to continue to search for the missing left engine. The search for the left engine will continue when weather conditions improve.
This accident investigation will provide much valuable data that will make an enormously useful contribution to future aircraft design and passenger safety. Rather than focus upon what went wrong it is more likely that this investigation will highlight all that went right.
The pilot and his family have been invited to attend the imminent inauguration of President-elect Barrack Obama. The pilot has so far been prevented from speaking of his experience due to the pilots association having ‘interested party’ status with the NTSB.
